Trey Payne is a big time leader on the Northside High football team. As a linebacker, Payne brings the pain while quarterbacking one of the top defenses in the state.
"It's a physical position you get to make alot of plays and you' re always around the football," says the senior defensive captain.
His head coach Kevin Kinsler has watched him continue to get better and better as a 3 year starter for the highly touted Eagles.
"He's a very intelligent young man", says Kinsler. "He makes alot of checkoffs for us and he's just an outstanding student and a good young man as well."
Trey further explains, "You have to be a leader. You have to be outspoken. You have to be a football player."
In the classroom Trey tackles the books just as hard to the tune of a 3.2 GPA.
